KEEFE v. CLARK

No. 634.

322 U.S. 393 (1944)

KEEFE ET AL. v. CLARK, DRAIN COMMISSIONER OF OAKLAND COUNTY, ET AL.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided May 22, 1944.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Irvin Long, with whom Mr. Paul W. Voorhies was on the brief, for appellants.

Messrs. Harry J. Merritt and William C. Hudson for appellees.

Briefs of amici curiae were filed by Messrs. Wilber M. Brucker and Robert C. Winter on behalf of Andrew Jergens, urging reversal; and by Messrs. Herbert J. Rushton, Attorney General, and Daniel J. O'Hara, Assistant Attorney General, on behalf of the State of Michigan, urging affirmance.

MR. JUSTICE BLACK delivered the opinion of the Court.

In this case appellants argue that certain provisions of two Acts passed by the Michigan legislature in 1937 are void in that, contrary to Art. I, § 10 of the United States Constitution, they impair the obligation of special assessment drain bonds issued in 1927, some of which are owned by appellants. The case is here on appeal from the Supreme Court of Michigan. 28 U.S.C. 344 (a).1
